So we have a culprit.

I guess this is a shared library that can be installed by tons of 
things, but I was installing on a brand new system. Is it possible to 
distribute this library with Erlang? If not, is it possible to detect 
its absence in the installer and pop up an error message telling the 
user to download it? :-)

BTW, I also get the same symptoms installing win64 on a win32 system. 
Yes, of course you shouldn't do that, but again the failure is unobvious 
- you just get a partial installation and no error message.

Cheers, Simon
